A. Majority Report: At the completion of a panel's review of a case pursuant to section 2.72.180 of this chapter, the panel shall prepare a report and immediately forward a copy of that report to the police chief. The panel's report shall contain, at a minimum, recommendations concerning case disposition and any other recommendations to the police chief in terms of the individual case or general practices or policies. The report shall be filed as promptly as possible, considering the time needed for the filing of minority reports and the police department's deadline for completing its final determination regarding complaints, after the administrator receives the internal affairs unit's case file on the case pursuant to section 2.72.170 of this chapter, but in all cases at least ten (10) business days before the police officer's predisciplinary hearing. After attending the predisciplinary hearing, the administrator may submit to the panel a second report containing a recommendation different than the administrator's initial recommendation. If, after reviewing the administrator's second report, the panel decides to prepare a second majority report that contains a recommendation less favorable to the police officer, the panel shall submit that second majority report to the police chief not less than five (5) business days after receiving the administrator's second report.
B. Minority Report: If less than all of the panel members join in either an initial or a second majority report described in subsection A of this section, any member not joining in the majority report may file with the police chief a minority report, setting forth such person's conclusions regarding the case. Any minority report must be filed within five (5) business days after the filing of the majority report. (Ord. 19-04 § 4, 2004: Ord. 52-03 § 1, 2003)
